Does anyone else have the problem with their vest snaps opening up when riding. I have a $150 HD vest that will not stay snapped when riding above 45 mph.

 

Only guys that need to lose a few pounds. Oh wait, that's all of us. I use those vest extenders when riding. It's a pain when your vest is flying in the wind.

 

I put extra snaps in the one I wear, one between each of the original ones. Also replaced
a couple of the ones it came with as U could just barely touch them and they would come apart.
U can get them at about any craft-hobby store..

 

Actually its not tight, and some of the guys I ride with use the extenders and end up with a looser fit than I do and have no problems. Its the wind opening them up not the gut.

 

Bring it back to the seller & ask for a zipper sewn inside the flap. When it's done up you won't see it.
Or sew in some velcro but I like the chains, it opens a lil but it dont go flyin' like you got a superman cape on!

 

Maybe you can switch from wearing a vest to a full on biker jacket. The ones that come with a padded chest, back and arms. That way, you don't have to worry about them flapping in the wind when you go fast.

 

Snaps don't open on mine, but I also have a windshield.

 

You can try tapping down the snap a bit to open it up, and make it a tighter fit inside the snap. careful that you don't mash it down too far, or you will never be able to snap it closed.

 

This is the reason my vest has a zipper...

 

Take your vest to an upholstery shop and have some heavy duty snaps put on !!!
